In my country, we have a 3 month notice aswell and yes it does also apply in reverse. You can negociate to lower the period but most of the time the company will decline your request.
For high-demand jobs it is a nightmare for everyone.
I'm not from Europe, but if I saw "BBC converts night images to perfect daylight in ~1 second", I would assume it meant the British Broadcasting Corporation. CNN is just as big of a name. His point is absolutely relevant.
Said differently: The percentage of people who are not from the US - but are aware of CNN as the Cable News Network, is higher than the percentage of people who are not machine learning experts - but are aware of CNN as a Convolutional Neural Network
And, more importantly for us, while numpy is doing an array operation, python also releases the GIL. Thus if you tell one thread to do:
print "%s %s %s %s and %s" %( ("spam",) *3 + ("eggs",) + ("spam",) )
A = B + C
print A
During the print operations and the % formatting operation, no other thread can execute. But during the A = B + C, another thread can run - and if you've written your code in a numpy style, much of the calculation will be done in a few array operations like A = B + C. Thus you can actually get a speedup from using multiple threads.
